Wrapping up the last few IC questions before I acknowledge omakes and other things:

Dear Sidious?
I'm only sending this out of a pure April Fools joke.

If by chance, you where to choose one lady, for a wive, if evil overlords even have wives. Who would it be, if you can pick one who would not be able to object to your reign if you pick them?

SIdious: Hmph. I have no time for such matters.

Dear Palpatine,

If I offered you instant control of the Republic with full dictator level control with no obstructionist, but at the cost of your looks, as in you will look like you are a human vagina for your face left to wrinkle and prune in the sun for a few days for the rest of your life, would you accept?

Signed

Your Friendly Neighboring Hungry Overlord

Palpatine: Why of course not! Degradation in looks aside, I would never desire to transform the Republic into a dictatorship led by myself and myself alone.

Dear Mr Fett have you given any thought to how the Mando (and indeed the galaxy) will fare if a large influx of...well highly skilled for lack of more accurate terminology yous are suddenly given massive life extensions due to figuring out how to stop their accelerated ageing?

Jango: I'm less concerned about "competition" and more concerned about how they're going to be treated when this is all over. It's obvious that they were meant to be just as disposable as the droids, but once the news breaks that Palpatine was behind the war and tried to use them as a tool to exterminate the Jedi...well would you trust them after that?

Dear Mr Silencer what is
A. The most high paying job you have ever taken?
B. The job that caused the most collatoral damage (sans Mettalorn if its already number 1)

Silencer: Full-time contract with Lady Ciaran. Otherwise Kalee operations in general.

In addition Mr Silencer have you ever been paid to
A. Take off your mask.
B. Serenade an audience with sweet sweet Jazz music. Or indeed any kind of music/dance.

Silencer: No.

Finally Mr Silencer...what is the money for? Presumably you need some to replace your damaged equipment after jobs, get from place to place, but beyond that?

Silencer: Private reasons.

Lady Ciaran/Darth Vevectivus
A potentially odd question, but over history and having access to large amounts of medical records as you do...does the number of Force Users in the galaxy seem to be increasing over time? Has it remained relatively static, or does it go up or down for no visible reason?

Ciaran: Dunno. Even with the amount of documentation I have on hand I know better than to try to apply statistics to the Force.

Vecticus: It is more of a matter of how noticeable Force users are in a particular era or how easy it is to discover them. In times when the Jedi and Sith were weaker, less Force users would be discovered and trained simply because no one was around to detect them. And many weaker Force-users do not even know they have the gift until they are told otherwise.

Neither. Although the second part was inspired by something I remember Ahsoka saying. Now answer the question.

Anakin: ...Twenty-one times. Thirteen of those were not my fault, no matter what anyone says.

@Galvin, how many times has it turned out that the "woman" you're flirting with is actually a dude?

Galvin: I HATE you. Look, that man looked more feminine than half of the women I've met in my life...no, no I'm going to shut up now.

@Obi-Wan, what was that business on Cato Nemoidia (don't think I'm spelling that right) that supposedly "doesn't count"?

Obi-Wan: There was an incident with a rather large amount of droids that was completely under control no matter what Anakin says.

@Ahsoka and Rex, any embarrassing (for Anakin) stories you'd care to share?

Ahsoka: I'm not sure that there's anything more embarrassing I know of then the misadventures he had on Naboo Rex and I heard about. Isn't that right?

Rex: I can neither confirm or deny that, Commander Tano.

Ahsoka: Uh-huh. Though really he hasn't changed that much. He still thinks spinning is a good trick, now that I think about it.

Dear Everyone,

What is your favorite food?

Ciaran: I think I mentioned I like Kaleesh food the best before.

Silencer: No preference.

Silas: Does booze count as food? Hehehe!

Cheriss: Um...I mean I can fake eating but...I don't really have a "favorite" food.

Thrawn: Nothing in particular, though that is more because I much prefer variety in my meals if possible.

Grievous: Fresh meat from a hunt. I find that the adrenaline coursing through you enhances the taste considerably.

Asajj: Anything with protein in it. I needed it to keep myself going when I was fighting in the arenas on Rattatak.

Jango: I've lived off rations for most of my life. I'm not picky.

Fry: ...Why do you want to know?

Galen: Anything my wife cooks for me, or so she tells me.

Dear Darth Sidious, No one would ever expect a Gungan Sith, and they look too silly to ever be suspected of criminal activity. Take your last apprentice as an example, he looks evil, acts evil and probably smells evil. I've never heard of a Gungan criminal mastermind, have you?

Sidious: Yes I have, or at least a Separatist spy was one: Rish Loo.

Dear Senators in opposition to Palpatine, what is your opinion of the conspiracy and the widespread corruption that allowed it, and what do you plan to do after Palpatine is done away from his position in the office for the galaxy at large?

Mothma: I am no fool, and was fully aware of the level of corruption within the Republic. However, the fact that it was so easily exploitable by Palpatine is a clear sign of how dangerous it is to democracy. Once he is removed from power, I believe we are all in agreement that we must excise the worst of it from the Senate and Republic by extension, and then afterwards ensure that it cannot degrade to that state again. Hopefully we will be able to have more Senators from the Outer Rim represented to ensure that does not happen.

Bail: I'd like to point out that I nearly died because of the conspiracy in question, and a good friend of mine in the Senate was exiled as well. That should be enough of an answer for anyone.

Garm: Quite frankly the Senate could use a shakeup to keep this from happening again. Most of the people there don't care about anything but lining their own pockets.

Dear Ciaran.
Have you checked out how much fanfiction (and fake porn) there is based on you on the holonet and if so which was your favorite?

Ciaran: On occasion...though honestly I'm...er...there are images that I dearly wish I hadn't seen. I'm not even into half of those things...

Anyway, I think I remember forwarding Padme something about me and her one time. Though I'm sure I was fairly drunk when I did it so I can't actually remember the specifics.

Dear HK 47 and Cheriss if you were to design an infiltration/assassin droid would you utilize the tech used in PR's upgrades, you know the ones that made him look like an organic.

Cheriss: If you're going for infiltration/assassination then definitely. The only problem is putting together fake documents for the android in question but given who I work for that's not an issue. And after that well it's not like you could tell afterwards.

HK-47: Recitation: I must admit that such a droid would be incredibly dangerous if it was prepared properly. A droid such as that would have a high potential for being able to infiltrate the highest levels of a meatbag's security system. Addendum: However do not underestimate the fact that many meatbags will often overlook certain types of droids that could also be used as infiltrators, such as astromech droids.

Wonder if HK would accept a Priam style upgrade in the future if he thinks its that effective.

He's certainly no astromech droid afterall.
 
The HK series looked like protocol droids before... and that was part of the design. Obviously, they have departed from that some point in the past tho HK can still be disguised as such if need be, but only for unwary ones.

No opinion and plan of action from Padme?
Also, Ciaran, you are aware of the widespread witch hunt that will occur with the assassination of Palpatine for the corrupt Senate by the Senators in the conspiracy against the Chancellor. While it is an opportunity to gain power, if it goes well, it would also limit much of your organization's flexibility in the galaxy. What do you plan to do? Oppose the senators in the shadows, or help them while picking up the pieces of those that will be taken down for corruption?
 
Most 'cleansing' operation for internal management just boil down to 'replace with our own guys', no matter how honest. All Ciaran has to do, as a co-conspirator, is juggle how suspicious they are of her suggestions while making sure that people that are inserted aren't against her operations.
 
You kidding? R2 rocks t3.

It basically does just as well in combat as t3... Without any actual weapons.

It has rocket boosters

Really? Because I'm struggling to recall the time where R2-D2 straight up murdered a dozen people with his inbuilt blasters. Oh wait he doesn't have those?

Okay, how about the times he went around dropping heavy combat droids with his shock prod. Oh wait, his is barely powerful enough to scare of Jaba's pet monkey?

Okay, so all the times he contributed with expertly placed mines and grenades. Oh none of those either?

I mean at least he could absorb fire with her milspec personal shilds. Oh not even that, really?

Well that's okay, I'm sure that being a half decent slicer, a job that literally any astromech droid could do, is contribution enough. Oh wait, it takes him several minutes just to open a fucking door?

Wow he really is kinda crap, isn't he?
 
My perspective is that R2-D2 is an exceptional Astromech Droid and enough of a ridiculous badass that it can perform competently in a wide variety of roles that are in no way connected to its designed role.

do you have to be a dick about it? because your being a dick about something that realy does not matter.

*Fondly recalls a canon story where R2-D2 wipes out a lot of Imperial Personel on an Imperial Star Destroyer. On his own.*

Which one was this? I might have to pick up the book for a read.

Comics. Star Wars (2015) Issue 36. Say what you want, but the new canon DOES produce some good or at least entertaining stories.

Edit: No. I will not engage in discussions about the quality of the EU or the new Canon now.

Right, time to acknowledge things:

Endless Squeeze of Tython


Still keeping my mouth shut on these. Canon, +10 for both.

Quotes - Starfighter Simulator Training

Ahhh, this brings back fond Freespace 2 memories. Also the rest of this is hilarious. Canon, +10.

@ Dr. Snark: Does this mean we will be allowed to purchase a base on Csilla next turn?

Er...not Csilla per se, but rather a nice piece of property on scenic Cormit ripe for the taking! Just ignore the large Chiss Expeditionary Defense Force base that's going to be right next to it (non-negotiable), or the fact that said property is going to be under constant supervision by the aforementioned CEDF presence there (also non-negotiable). It'll be fine.

Also, I'm wondering if there will be any trait increase for Asajj, perhaps relating to her piloting skills (or use of 'Blazing Chain' to shift the Devastator beam...), since it was a super-critical success.

Well...I honestly couldn't think of anything good, largely because the super-crit was due to Ciaran Shatterpointing behind the scenes.

@ Dr. Snark: When I update the balance sheet on the front page, I think I'll add a section for recurring benefits like this. Besides our salvage teams and dedicated archaeology teams, we have the CNS bureaucrats, the Blackguard trainers, Sullust recruiters, the Vianist pilgrims, and now Jerec's team. Probably a good idea to keep a list somewhere.

Can't hurt at this point.
